Black/BIPOC Businesses/Organizations
Host students for 40-80 hours of community service a year. Students will do community service with your organization and/or event. This will give students an opportunity to see Black leaders leading in Lane County. It is important for Black students to know that there are Black people doing great things and taking the lead in Lane County. This will also help students see themselves as leaders and encourage them that they can do the same. An opportunity of this sort will also give students a chance to give back to the community at large and recognize the importance of community and giving back.
